One of the most effective ways to deal with the increased energy and time acceleration of these fast and furious days is to engage one’s creativity—pragmatism be damned.
When we’re authentically engaged in our personal creative space, time ceases to exist—rather, we tend to lose our old self-limiting habits of attachment to time’s clever tricks and inconvenient whims.
The move here, one that is as simple as it is powerful, even reality-altering, is from (not) living in the past and future, to fully inhabiting the Now.
Perhaps this helps explain why I’ve been so busy lately, without feeling particularly busy: I’ve been “in the zone,” so to speak, creating with abandon.
Let me assure you, this way of living internally beats the socks off waiting around for some good news to happen externally. Because, who knows, you may be waiting a while.
And maybe, just maybe, following our bliss, harnessing the “Power of Positive Feeling,” is integral in generating the very good events that will eventually make the news.
For the most part, I've continued my passionate love affair with painting transcendent Southwestern landscapes designed to inspire deep appreciation of the magic inherent in creation.
Nothing is more in the Now than painting—especially with fast-drying media such as ink and gesso, when there’s no time to think about anything except what's happening on the canvas, in the Moment.
And perhaps, just looking at the results, you will find yourself, however briefly, existing entirely in the present as well.
